〜 Bellydance : An Ancient Dance Honoring the Beauty of Earth and Life 〜
Farasha has been dancing since the age of 4. She has studied and performed classic ballet, gymnastics, baton twirling, jazz dance, hip-hop, modern dance and flamenco. When she was introduced to bellydance she instantly fell in love with this ancient dance and was determined to devote her heart to it.
Farasha has lived in the U.S.A.(N.Y.) and Brazil (S.P.) and has traveled to many countries. As a result, she's been influenced by a wide range of performers throughout the world from a young age. Her current teacher is Mishaal, an international bellydancer who performs and teaches wordwide. Farasha has also worked as a translator for world renowned dancers and performers such as Ahmet Luleci, Ansuya, Elijah Sound, Farasha(LasVegas), Hadia, Hannan, Kaeshi Chai, Lulu Sabongi, Mardi Love, Maya Gaorry, Meera, Rachel Brice, Sharon Kihara, and Sema, to name a few. Farasha brings her wide array of dance forms and experiences to her bellydance as she dances to honor the beauty of the earth and the joy of life. She also shares these experiences with others as a teacher: she currently teaches bellydance at Devadasi Studio (Omotesando) and sports clubs in Tokyo.
As a soloist, Farasha performs in staged shows, special events, concerts, exhibitions, musicals, and at hotels, restaurants, cafes, clubs, and private parties. Farasha is also a member of the international tribal-fusion bellydance group Harissa, which performs regularly in Tokyo. She dances for Hethara, an Oriental Ambient music group in Japan, and appears in their live shows, music videos, CDs, and posters.
Farasha not only celebrates life in her dance, she also uses her dance to help others live better lives. She is a facilitator of P.U.R.E. Tokyo, a global community of dancers and musicians who perform to spread healing and peace, and a member of The Afet Collective, a group of socially concerned bellydancers raising awareness and funds for women's charities. The work that the Afet Collective and P.U.R.E. Tokyo does has been featured in The Japan Times, Being A Broad, Bellydance Japan, Smashing Mag, and other domestic and international media.
